True sucking
What are the 5 Oral Motor Development?
Rooting reflex
Suck-swallow reflex
Gag reflex
Phasic bite-release reflex
Grasp reflex
When the infant’s cheeks or lips are stroked, he or she turns toward the stimulus. This reflex, which allows the infant to search for food, is maintained for a longer period in breast-fed infants.
Rooting reflex
When the infant’s lips are touched, the mouth opens, and sucking movements begin.
Suck-swallow reflex
It protects the infant from swallowing anything that may block the airway. At birth, it is highly sensitive and elicited by stimulation to the back three fourths of the tongue. This reflex gradually moves to the back one-fourth of the tongue as the infant matures and engages in oral play
Gag reflex
When the infant’s gums are stimulated, he or she responds with a rhythmic up-and-down movement of the jaw. This reflex forms the basis for munching and chewing.
Phasic bite-release reflex
When a finger is pressed into the infant’s palm, he or she grasps the finger. As the infant sucks, the grasp tightens, indicating a connection between sucking and the ________ reflex.
Grasp reflex
